I do not think so, but you can tell us. All I did is pull the snorkel and re jet the carb. I got a lot more smoother power.

Please tell us if you can tell how the power is. Some associate noise with power, so its hard to tell.

Top speed on level ground, or even into a slight uphill, is good objective indicator of peak power. Assuming constant wind conditions, of course.

Changing out the muffler is really quick to do, might be interesting to get before/after top speed numbers. Even better if you use a GPS as a speedometer.

Noise is power man.. Any Harley rider can tell you that!

I suspect there are a lot of stock exhausts available, being replaced by overly optimistic riders with pipes that do next to nothing for power, but do reduce a few pounds, increase head-turning (as in WTF is that bike so #$% loud!), and keeps the economy going.

Yeah I have Rejetted my bike and its running AWESOME with my current set up which is Open Air Box + Twin Air Air Filter + RSV Exhaust.

My jetting is =
Main-124 Dynojet
Pilot- 38
Needle- Dynojet Needle with clip on 3rd position.

Is this setup ok for the stock exhaust?


Thanks alot!
